Dakota Johnson just pulled off the ultimate power move: she adopted a brand-new pupper named Tokyo right after her breakup with Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin. Mic drop.
So, 35-year-old Dakota—yes, the queen of Fifty Shades fame and Material Girls vibes—showed up on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang Podcast looking like she just won at life. And guess what she brought? A tiny, sniffy, adorable fluffball straight from the Santa Barbara Humane Society. Yep, she rescued Tokyo on a totally spontaneous Saturday like a superhero with a fur cape.
She wasn’t planning on it, though. Because of course, Dakota was still dealing with some major feels after her OG doggo Zeppelin—RIP, legend—passed away at the ripe old age of 17 last December. That’s like, a whole dog century. She thought the puppy rescue train wasn’t boarding anytime soon. But then BAM, Tokyo showed up and basically said, “I’m your new bestie now.”
Plot twist: Tokyo started turning into a total diva right there on the podcast set, sniffing mics like she’s auditioning for America’s Next Top Dog Model. Dakota straight-up called her a “performer,” and honestly? Tokyo’s got more star power than half the celebs on Instagram.
“I’m an actress just like my mom!” Dakota joked to her pupper. If Tokyo starts demanding a trailer, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Oh, and did I mention? This epic new furry friend appeared just DAYS after news broke that Dakota and Chris Martin called it quits. Coincidence? Nope. This is Dakota’s subtle way of saying, “New dog, who dis?”
So yeah, Dakota’s out here living her best life, upgrading from heartbreak to puppy cuddles, and honestly, that’s the mood for 2025. Someone get this dog a Netflix special already. #PuppyPower #BreakupGlowUp #TokyoTheStar
